Watch this video on how UNICEF works with partners in Ghana to prevent and address the effects of lead poisoning on the growth and well-being of children. In Ghana over 1.7 million children are estimated to have blood lead levels exceeding 5 micrograms per deciliter. With millions of children's lives at stake, we must take urgent action to end child labour and protect children's health from the effects of lead poisoning.
